For the placement of a mobile scaffolding, eight pipes had to be preserved all around over a length of 7.5 metres with a DTM (Direct To Metal) coating. The customer opted for black pipes (Ral 9017) with blue (Ral 5015) for the top 1.2 metres. For the best durability and impact resistance, the pipes were provided with 3 layers of Sigmacover. The pipes were sawn to size and welded to a length of 19 metres each. Customization in mooring posts Solines...
A marina in Noord-Holland bought 148 pipe piles in dimensions of Ø133 x 3.6mm. At the customer’s request, various modifications were made to the pipes. For example, piles were welded together along their length, and strips, pile heads and foot plates were attached. The pipe piles were delivered at length by Solines. 114 piles were extended to 9 meters by means of 1 round seam. In addition, 34 piles of 6 meters were delivered. Pipe piles in sets of two For 68...
The principal of a project called us with the request to supply 10 longitudinally welded steel pipes in dimensions Ø 508 x 12.7mm. Two additional requests made this project worth mentioning: the pipes had to be delivered at a length of 24 meters the material demonstrably had to comply with S355 Welding to size Solines has qualified welders and all the necessary facilities in house to custom-weld steel pipes to a length of 36 meters. The 10 pipes of 24 meters were therefore...
In Maastricht, construction company Strukton Civiel demonstrated a fine example of civil engineering in the summer of 2017. A new, 180-metre-long bridge section of the Noorderbrug route will then be put in place all at once, including pillars and foundation. Solines supplied the steel pipes for the foundation piles that will support the new bridge section. The project is part of the infrastructural modifications intended to improve the flow through and around Maastricht. In the new situation, the road route...
The N31 is the direct connection between Amsterdam and Leeuwarden. The road creates a division of Harlingen. By building a new road largely sunken, the visual division of Harlingen has vanished. In the new situation, the road crosses the Van Harinxmakanaal in the form of an aqueduct. Waiting times at the Koningsbrug for automotive traffic are a thing of the past. The railway is crossed ‘on different floors’, with the track running over the N31. The N31 has been...
The Stompwijkseweg is getting a new road surface over a length of about four kilometers; the bank construction is being partly replaced and partly renovated. To make the road more attractive for recreational traffic, there will be bicycle lanes on both sides. After completion of the work, the road can last at least another forty years. The existing bank construction is reinforced by placing pipe piles behind the quay down to the hard pleistocene sand layer. Solines supplied all the foundation...
Geothermal energy is heat recovery by extracting geothermal energy from the soil. For a good customer, Solines supplied more than 200 meters of pipes Ø 610 x 12.7 mm. These conductor pipes will serve as protection for the water-bearing layers, so that they do not come into contact with the deeper layers. Conductor pipes of Ø 610 x 12.7 mm Our customer drilled a hole with a diameter of 800 mm to approx. 140 meters below ground level, after which the delivered...
Several foundation companies are facing a shortage of prefabricated concrete piles. Due to the surge in construction and the aftermath of the economic crisis, in which several producers of concrete piles went bankrupt, the remaining producers can no longer produce enough to meet the enormous demand on time. This results in huge delays and therefore potentially high cost posts. Fortunately, Solines always has the alternative in stock. Several companies have already started looking for steel pipe piles, which are custom-made by Solines and...
Quay improvement For the project quay improvement for the Voorvliet and Montfoortse canal, Solines supplied over 5500 meters of pipe Ø 139.7 mm and Ø 152.4 mm These pipe piles are used in combination with 300 meters of Prolock plastic shoring. The plastic screen holds the soil, and the often longer piles ensure the strength and stiffness of the overall structure. Prolock shoring A Prolock shoring has the great advantage that it has a life expectancy of 50 years, which is many times...
A foundation company was commissioned to realize the foundation of a waterproof cellar area in Katwijk. This will function as a dry dock for maintenance of yachts and small vessels. Solines supplied the steel pipes needed for this. 44 pile pipes with a diameter of 273 mm and a length of 17 meters The cellar area, with a depth of four meters, was founded on 44 pile pipes with a diameter of 273 mm and a length of 17 meters. For this...
